by loosely packing a bunch of celery so that when shaken the box sounds interesting. Sometimes there's a lot of thought put into deceiving the child, e.g. I know you have the X-Bone on your list, but it's kind of a long shot." But the 'gifts' in these videos very obviously are given with malicious thought, and again are often disguised as really good gifts. They would also have probably reacted reasonably to inexpensive gifts if their parents were giving them realistic expectations by, say, saying: "It's probably going to be a small Christmas this year. And most likely most of these children would have been appreciative if they received a gift they were disappointed in, but at least appeared to have thought behind it. You know how it's often said that "it's the thought that counts" when giving gifts? Yeah. As I said, this isn't about bad kids, this is about bad parents.

And the comments sections are always invariably full of "What a spoiled brat, back in my day she'd have been a good ass-beating for reacting that way to a gift!" or "Starving children in Africa would have been grateful for a present like that!" Now, as you can imagine, the kids don't tend to take it well, at least in the videos that get a million hits on YouTube. Another variant is where the parent gives the impression that they're giving the child something they've really wanted for a long time (and the parents may have been dropping hints about it), and then getting a shitty "joke version," like giving a child a pair of tin cans and a string in the packaging of a cell phone). Now some of them are harmless "troll parent" territory, but the one that I think goes too far is the parents is the "giving kids bad Christmas presents" one.īasically, the parent takes a young child, often like 4-8 years old, who had presumably been hyped up and excited for Christmas for at least a month, may have been looking at the present under the tree for a week, and giving them a truly worthless gift like a bag of onions or a roll of toilet paper.
Lately there seems to be an epidemic of viral videos pulling "pranks" on their young children by saying you ate all their Halloween candy and things like that. So, this isn't completely in line with the normal examples of bad parenting posted here, and it actually defends children's behavior that is often seen as "bratty," but I still think this is the place for it because it's relevant to parents having children, but then treating them as toys and not human beings.
